I somehow got the following corrupted language in the formula of my cells.....

C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\

I have 2 spreadsheets that communicate with each other. This happened often a few years ago, but hasn't happened again since this past week. what am I doing wrong. these two excel files stay in the same folder and I do not email them anywhere. they stay together.

Two questions:
1) how do I remove the corruption without having to go through each cell and remove it? there is probably 1000 cells I would have to work on and it would take me a few hours.

2) how do I keep this corrupted formula from happening again?

Please help save me some time with a solution not too complicated. Thank you so much!
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
maybe unrelated, my 2016 was saying my files were damaged and started auto repairs, yet loading the same file in 2019 and not a stutter
